Preamble
Signatories(1) to the Agreement on Trade
in Civil Aircraft, hereinafter referred to as “this Agreement”;
Noting that Ministers on 12-14 September 1973 agreed the Tokyo
Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations should achieve the expansion
and ever-greater liberalization of world trade through, inter alia,
the progressive dismantling of obstacles to trade and the improvement
of the international framework for the conduct of world trade;
Desiring to achieve maximum freedom of world trade in civil
aircraft, parts and related equipment, including elimination of
duties, and to the fullest extent possible, the reduction or
elimination of trade restricting or distorting effects;
Desiring to encourage the continued technological development
of the aeronautical industry on a world-wide basis;
Desiring to provide fair and equal competitive opportunities
for their civil aircraft activities and for their producers to
participate in the expansion of the world civil aircraft market;
Being mindful of the importance in the civil aircraft sector of
their overall mutual economic and trade interests;
Recognizing that many Signatories view the aircraft sector as a
particularly important component of economic and industrial policy;
Seeking to eliminate adverse effects on trade in civil aircraft
resulting from governmental support in civil aircraft development,
production, and marketing while recognizing that such governmental
support, of itself, would not be deemed a distortion of trade;
Desiring that their civil aircraft activities operate on a
commercially competitive basis, and recognizing that
government-industry relationships differ widely among them;
Recognizing
their obligations and rights under the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade, hereinafter referred to as “the GATT”, and under other
multilateral agreements negotiated under the auspices of the GATT;
Recognizing the need to provide for international notification,
consultation, surveillance and dispute settlement procedures with a
view to ensuring a fair, prompt and effective enforcement of the
provisions of this Agreement and to maintain the balance of rights and
obligations among them;
Desiring to establish an international framework governing
conduct of trade in civil aircraft;
Hereby agree as follows:
Article
1: Product Coverage
back to top
1.1
This Agreement applies to the following products:
(a)
all civil aircraft,
(b)
all civil aircraft engines and their parts and components,
(c)
all other parts, components, and sub-assemblies of civil aircraft,
(d)
all ground flight simulators and their parts and components,
whether used as original or replacement equipment in the manufacture,
repair, maintenance, rebuilding, modification or conversion of civil
aircraft.
1.2
For the purposes of this Agreement “civil aircraft” means (a) all
aircraft other than military aircraft and (b) all other products set
out in Article 1.1 above.
Article
2: Customs
Duties and Other Charges
back to top
2.1 Signatories agree:
2.1.1
to eliminate by 1 January 1980, or by the date of entry into force of
this Agreement, all customs duties and other charges(2) of any kind
levied on, or in connection with, the importation of products,
classified for customs purposes under their respective tariff headings
listed in the Annex, if such products are for use in a civil aircraft
and incorporation therein, in the course of its manufacture, repair,
maintenance, rebuilding, modification or conversion;
2.1.2
to eliminate by 1 January 1980, or by the date of entry into force of
this Agreement, all customs duties and other charges(3)
of any kind levied on repairs on civil aircraft;
2.1.3
to incorporate in their respective GATT Schedules by 1 January 1980,
or by the date of entry into force of this Agreement, duty-free or
duty-exempt treatment for all products covered by Article 2.1.1 above
and for all repairs covered by Article 2.1.2 above.
2.2
Each Signatory shall: (a) adopt or adapt an end-use system of
customs administration to give effect to its obligations under Article
2.1 above; (b) ensure that its end-use system provides
duty-free or duty-exempt treatment that is comparable to the treatment
provided by other Signatories and is not an impediment to trade; and (c) inform
other Signatories of its procedures for administering the end-use
system.
Article
3: Technical Barriers to Trade
back to top
3.1
Signatories note that the provisions of the Agreement on Technical
Barriers to Trade apply to trade in civil aircraft. In addition,
Signatories agree that civil aircraft certification requirements and
specifications on operating and maintenance procedures shall be
governed, as between Signatories, by the Provisions of the Agreement
on Technical Barriers to Trade.
Article
4: Government-Directed Procurement, Mandatory Sub-Contracts and
Inducements
back to top
4.1
Purchasers of civil aircraft should be free to select suppliers on the
basis of commercial and technological factors.
4.2
Signatories shall not require airlines, aircraft manufacturers, or
other entities engaged in the purchase of civil aircraft, nor exert
unreasonable pressure on them, to procure civil aircraft from any
particular source, which would create discrimination against suppliers
from any Signatory.
4.3
Signatories agree that the purchase of products covered by this
Agreement should be made only on a competitive price, quality and
delivery basis. In conjunction with the approval or awarding of
procurement contracts for products covered by this Agreement a
Signatory may, however, require that its qualified firms be provided
with access to business opportunities on a competitive basis and on
terms no less favourable than those available to the qualified firms
of other Signatories.(4)
4.4
Signatories agree to avoid attaching inducements of any kind to the
sale or purchase of civil aircraft from any particular source which
would create discrimination against suppliers from any Signatory.
Article 5: Trade Restrictions
back to top
5.1
Signatories shall not apply quantitative restrictions (import quotas)
or import licensing requirements to restrict imports of civil aircraft
in a manner inconsistent with applicable provisions of the GATT. This
does not preclude import monitoring or licensing systems consistent
with the GATT.
5.2
Signatories shall not apply quantitative restrictions or export
licensing or other similar requirements to restrict, for commercial or
competitive reasons, exports of civil aircraft to other Signatories in
a manner inconsistent with applicable provisions of the GATT.
Article
6: Government Support, Export Credits, and Aircraft Marketing back to top
6.1
Signatories note that the provisions of the Agreement on
Interpretation and Application of Articles VI, XVI and XXIII of the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (Agreement on Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures) apply to trade in civil aircraft. They affirm
that in their participation in, or support of, civil aircraft
programmes they shall seek to avoid adverse effects on trade in civil
aircraft in the sense of Articles 8.3 and 8.4 of the Agreement on
Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. They also shall take into
account the special factors which apply in the aircraft sector, in
particular the widespread governmental support in this area, their
international economic interests, and the desire of producers of all
Signatories to participate in the expansion of the world civil
aircraft market.
6.2
Signatories agree that pricing of civil aircraft should be based on a
reasonable expectation of recoupment of all costs, including
non-recurring programme costs, identifiable and pro-rated costs of
military research and development on aircraft, components, and systems
that are subsequently applied to the production of such civil
aircraft, average production costs, and financial costs.
Article 7: Regional and Local Governments back to top
7.1
In addition to their other obligations under this Agreement,
Signatories agree not to require or encourage, directly or indirectly,
regional and local governments and authorities, non-governmental
bodies, and other bodies to take action inconsistent with provisions
of this Agreement.
Article 8: Surveillance, Review,
Consultation, and Dispute Settlement back to top
8.1
There shall be established a Committee on Trade in Civil Aircraft
(hereinafter referred to as “the Committee”) composed of
representatives of all Signatories. The Committee shall elect its own
Chairman. It shall meet as necessary, but not less than once a year,
for the purpose of affording Signatories the opportunity to consult on
any matters relating to the operation of this Agreement, including
developments in the civil aircraft industry, to determine whether
amendments are required to ensure continuance of free and undistorted
trade, to examine any matter for which it has not been possible to
find a satisfactory solution through bilateral consultations, and to
carry out such responsibilities as are assigned to it under this
Agreement, or by the Signatories.
8.2
The Committee shall review annually the implementation and operation
of this Agreement taking into account the objectives thereof. The
Committee shall annually inform the CONTRACTING PARTIES to the GATT of
developments during the period covered by such review.
8.3
Not later than the end of the third year from the entry into force of
this Agreement and periodically thereafter, Signatories shall
undertake further negotiations, with a view to broadening and
improving this Agreement on the basis of mutual reciprocity.
8.4
The Committee may establish such subsidiary bodies as may be
appropriate to keep under regular review the application of this
Agreement to ensure a continuing balance of mutual advantages. In
particular, it shall establish an appropriate subsidiary body in order
to ensure a continuing balance of mutual advantages, reciprocity and
equivalent results with regard to the implementation of the provisions
of Article 2 above related to product coverage, the end-use
systems, customs duties and other charges.
8.5
Each Signatory shall afford sympathetic consideration to and adequate
opportunity for prompt consultation regarding representations made by
another Signatory with respect to any matter affecting the operation
of this Agreement.
8.6
Signatories recognize the desirability of consultations with other
Signatories in the Committee in order to seek a mutually acceptable
solution prior to the initiation of an investigation to determine the
existence, degree and effect of any alleged subsidy. In those
exceptional circumstances in which no consultations occur before such
domestic procedures are initiated, Signatories shall notify the
Committee immediately of initiation of such procedures and enter into
simultaneous consultations to seek a mutually agreed solution that
would obviate the need for countervailing measures.
8.7
Should a Signatory consider that its trade interests in civil aircraft
manufacture, repair, maintenance, rebuilding, modification or
conversion have been or are likely to be adversely affected by any
action by another Signatory, it may request review of the matter by
the Committee. Upon such a request, the Committee shall convene within
thirty days and shall review the matter as quickly as possible with a
view to resolving the issues involved as promptly as possible and in
particular prior to final resolution of these issues elsewhere. In
this connection the Committee may issue such rulings or
recommendations as may be appropriate. Such review shall be without
prejudice to the rights of Signatories under the GATT or under
instruments multilaterally negotiated under the auspices of the GATT,
as they affect trade in civil aircraft. For the purposes of aiding
consideration of the issues involved, under the GATT and such
instruments, the Committee may provide such technical assistance as
may be appropriate.
8.8
Signatories agree that, with respect to any dispute related to a
matter covered by this Agreement, but not covered by other instruments
multilaterally negotiated under the auspices of the GATT, the
provisions of Articles XXII and XXIII of the General Agreement and the
provisions of the Understanding related to Notification, Consultation,
Dispute Settlement and Surveillance shall be applied, mutatis
mutandis, by the Signatories and the Committee for the purposes of
seeking settlement of such dispute. These procedures shall also be
applied for the settlement of any dispute related to a matter covered
by this Agreement and by another instrument multilaterally negotiated
under the auspices of the GATT, should the parties to the dispute so
agree.
